Supporting Staff | Bibliography/Literature Review

The Resource Centre contains practical material about good teaching and learning in the tertiary sector. The Resources can come from the Communities and Project Groups on the site. The Resources are high-quality, well-presented, evidence-based, and relevant to New Zealand.

Supporting Staff includes professional development, support services for staff, and staff workload.

The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to present a detailed summary of literature which will be used to underpin and support an investigation into the ways tertiary academic staff in New Zealand are prepared for eLearning.

This literature review focuses on the question “What professional development strategies are most effective in enhancing student performance outcomes within the Private Training Establishment (PTE) sector in New Zealand?”

This project researched the characteristics of academic staff development programmes and student support services offered in tertiary institutions that make a difference for undergraduate tertiary students in their studies. Student outcomes comprised achievement, participation, progression, retention and completion.
